Wednesday, June 11, 1913.
Mr. Wilson A Reactionary.
To be a progressive is to be a
ymn that has such views of
and state that when they
ire r u' into action will cause prog-
rcs^ w all lines of church and
jtate, If views and theories of
church and state are put into
lorcp that retard the progress of
■jfcher one of these institutions,
such a man becomes by his own
ids a reactionary of the strong-
^■81 and most dangerous type.
There can be no progressi ve acts
,:n ]ife, unless they are conserv-
ilivc. In order to have prog-
action must be taken along
i’tch lines that will conserve the
best intei’ests of not only those
propose such progressive
iseasure.9, but all those that such
raeasures affect either directly
w indirecty.
It is therefore clearly evident
Mr. Wiison belongs to the
jeactionary class, because he
2auses by his radical views of
government reactions in many
ines of business, such as is now
being felt by the money markets
.jif America.

unless something is done on a
more consefative basis than that
which is now being followed, in
dustrial failure ys now face to
face with the industrial interest
of our land. As we see it there
is no hope for immediate relief,
because Mr. Wilson is far more
set in his w^ys ^han^ ever _was.
Mr, Cleveland"or Mr. Taft , and
the saddest of all, isj that Mr^
Wilson’s^, views ^^^dicaHn
many of their phases and in di
rect contradiction to the Amerb
carrpolicies of government.
We give it now directly in
charge to the Republican ^nd
Progressive Senators .and the
Conservative Democrat to pre
serve un^o the American people
the wonderful successful indus
tries by defeating entirely the
Senate bill as now offered for
ratification, if they do this they
will rendet unto themselves and
unto the American people that
glory which fadeth not away.

We are again face to face
^^ith the same tactic^ being prac
ticed upon our Senators hy Mr.
Wilson that were used by Mr.
Taft, if the charge made by a
Western Senator when exami-
aation by the lobbyist committ-
;*e a few days ago is true. If
Ms charge be true it already
points to the failure of Mr. Wil
son as president and to his prin
cipals of government. If his
theories on tariff revision are
not of sufficient importance and
are not sufficiently clear to the
majority of the U. S, Senators
;Aat they be enacted into law
without this policy of coercion
now u>^der discussion,
:?ie tariff bi!! as offered should
be defeated as a whole and not
revised and amended as is now
b^ing attempted, because every
one that has any rnemoryi at all,

Roosevelt vs. Newett
The case of Eoosevelt vs.
Newett will go down to history
as one of the celebrated cases in
American NationaVlife, not for
any difficult question of the
fact raised, not for any difficalt
problem of law involved, but be
cause it puts before the Amer
ican people in a very definite
form the question whether they'
will continue to condone, if not
iustify, the use of personal abuse
as a legitimate kind of amrauni- >
tion in a political . campaign, j
Mr. Newett, 'the editor and pro-1
prietor of the ishpeming “iron j
Ore,'’said editoiiaily lust
“K,oosevelt lies and curses in
most disgusting way. He
drunk too, and that not intreqU'
ently, and all his intimates k^ovv
about it.'' Mr, Roosevelt, who
was resolved that his name
should not go down in histop’
with this falsehood attached to it,
inmiediatelv brought suit. The
case is on trial at Marquette,
Michigan, as the outlook is going
to press. iVir, Roosevelt was
the first witness to go upon the
stand. He entered under oath
an explicit and sweeping denial
of the charge, and gave a full
andl frank^^ account of his life
and habits.. Witness ^fter wit
ness, out of an intimate acquain
tance with Mr. Roosevelt, con-
•irhied his testimony. We agree
and all of Mr. Roosevelt'& asso
ciates and intimates will agree,
with the sta*:enient of ore:he most
implacable of Mr. Roosevelt’s
political opponents the i;4ew York
“Sun.'’ It is unnecessary to
await the jury’s verdict. Colo
nel Roosevelt squelched a iot of
liars yesterday and, in vindicat
ing himself, put an end to an
annoy ance that has frequently
irritated us.” And those who
have no intimate acquaintance
with him, if they have any know
ledge concerning the effect of
alcohol, would hardly need the
sworn testimony of Dr. Lambert,
his attending physician after the
bullet wound received at Milwau
kee: “He would not have re
covered had he been a constant
user of alcoholic Jiquor, To his
splendid physique, unpoisoned
by alcohol, he recovery
from the wound," We think al
so the country will generally
share in the judgement of the
New York “Times," also a vig
orous political opponent of Mr.
Roosevelt: ‘‘Mr. Roosevelt has
acted both courageously - and
wisely. There niw-e than the
